Privacy on Ethereum is already here.
Aztec is the L2 that allows developers with no prior cryptography background to build smart contracts with private identity, data, and compute.

It’s been a huge effort to get this out, it’s a huge upgrade of Aztec’s capabilities.
The code for Alpha V5 is ready.
V5 will ship with significant security updates, speed improvements, and new features to simplify the privacy UX.
Next steps to bring V5 live:
1. Code payload is deployed
2. Sequencers bring to vote
3. $AZTEC holder vote

A vote needs two things: a secret ballot + a count anyone can check.
Every transparent chain makes you give up the first to get the second. Aztec gives you both in a single transaction.

Pressure-testing from the best in the field is how a privacy-first network stays resilient.
Our bug bounty on @cantinaxyz is still open. Help us keep the network strong and secure, and claim your reward for what you find.
What does it look like when a privacy-first platform invites the world's best to try and break it?
@aztecnetwork is putting that question to the test, with a new bug bounty program on Cantina.
Here's what researchers should look at.

V5 = 10x UX. Faster client-side proving, faster tx inclusion, better dev tooling. More users + more apps = sharper signal on what to improve next. Onwards!

This week on Aztec: Stage 2 on @l2beat, a walkthrough of private composability, and a new essay from @Zac_Aztec on why privacy needs decentralization.
Here's the recap 🧵

Builders continue to ship products on Aztec: The @nyxmoney team chose Aztec for our ground-up programmable privacy, @noirlang, native account abstraction, and on-device zk proofs.
What will you build on aztec?
We believe in the original cypherpunk promise: that cryptography can give people online privacy and financial freedom that no government or corporation can take away.
Ethereum is only 0.1% private today. We're building Nyx because privacy is the part of the promise that needs the most work.
We looked at the available options to deliver on privacy. Here are the top 3 reasons we’re building Nyx on @aztecnetwork 🧵

On Ethereum, apps build on top of each other in the open.
On Aztec, they can do it privately. Contracts call other contracts, and the call stack itself stays hidden. No one watching the chain learns which app touched which.

Notice to Alpha V4 users:
V5 is coming, which hardens the network's security and ramps up performance. However, once V5 is brought to governance, any vulnerabilities that could affect the V4 network will be publicly visible.
As a precaution, users should remove funds currently held on Aztec V4 before June 25th.
No action is required if you are staking or holding the $AZTEC token.

"A company wants a moat. A settlement layer wants surface area."
In his newest piece, @Zac_Aztec explores why decentralization becomes more important, not less, when privacy enters the equation, and why programmable privacy must be built into the architecture itself rather than layered on afterward.

Aztec just hit Stage 2 on @l2beat.
Onchain governance revoked ownership of the rollup contract.
The code is immutable, no admin can override the protocol, and users can always exit via the escape hatch.
Aztec is the only decentralized L2 with privacy native to the protocol.
